I'm a wife dealing with her husband's addiction to pornography. I hope to be a resource for wives (and family members) dealing with similar struggles. Please join in the conversation and leave comments--even if you are here for curiosity's sake and are just learning about this kind of struggle! You can read my story here and the 4 things I think every addict's wife should know here.

carry on, girls and boys

Been thinking of you all. Here's our theme song for tonight. Carry on.

(Also check out the non-acoustic version, which I like better, but like the video itself less.)Well I woke up to the sound of silenceAnd cries were cutting like knives in a fist fightAnd I found you with a bottle of wineYour head in the curtainsAnd heart like the Fourth of JulyYou swore and said,"We are not,We are not shining stars."This I know,I never said we areThough I've never been through hell like thatI've closed enough windows to know you can never look backIf you're lost and aloneOr you're sinking like a stone.Carry on.May your past be the soundOf your feet upon the ground.Carry on.Carry on, carry onSo I met up with some friends at the edge of the nightAt a bar off 75.And we talked and talked about how our parents will die,All our neighbours and wives.But I like to think I can cheat it allTo make up for the times I've been cheated on.And it's nice to know when I was left for deadI was found and now I don't roam these streets,I am not the ghost you are to me.If you're lost and aloneOr you're sinking like a stone.Carry on.May your past be the soundOf your feet upon the ground.Carry on.Whoa!My head is on fire but my legs are fine.After all they are mine.Lay your clothes down on the floor,Close the door, hold the phone,Show me how no one’s ever gonna stop us tonight.'Cause here we areWe are shining starsWe are invincibleWe are who we areOn our darkest dayWhen we’re miles awaySun will comeWe will find our way homeIf you're lost and aloneOr you're sinking like a stone.Carry on.May your past be the soundOf your feet upon the ground.Carry on.

Well, I've just spent the good majority of the last hour pouring through your posts. Thank you for your openness and honesty. You are helping the healing. You are a voice for US. I know I don't know you, but I know your struggle. Thank you.

Those lines just brought tears to my eyes. Being a partner to a recovering addict who's under the GreatnessAhead program, I deeply felt the music through my hubby's perspective and that of my own. Thanks for your inspiring posts.

About Me

I have a wonderful, loving husband who has struggled with a pornography addiction since before we were married. I have known the whole time. It's not easy, but we are working through it, and it is getting easier every year.
See the first post I wrote on this blog for the 4 things every woman going through this struggle needs to understand.
